Whoa there AG, you are new here and need to understand that people have different personalities. As one of the longest posting residents of this board, I can tell you with great honesty that most people here are honest, open and ready to help. Some do this with a flair for humor, but nobody - well very few but they are easy to spot - mean any harm

Bob is a unique individual, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at the Axiom 30th anniversary. He does tend to spin advice into humor, but he is a well respected veteran of this board.

If everyone simply filled a form or ticked boxes for posts and followed the masses, this board would be as frustrating as others.....but the refreshing tangents here make this a family.
